    On twitter, Raoul has said he has positions in Eurodollars for Dec 2020 and 2021, but here we show just 2019. Can you guys write a flash piece please on what to do now with the Eurodollar trade, esp for us futures newbies. Also, Burbank discussed calls on Eurodollars for 2020. I would really appreciate some update on this, and expect a number of other folks might as well. Thanks Gents. It sounds like a great trade, would like to jump in.

      Take profits on GEZ9 if you havent already. Double down on GEZ0 99 calls...but hurry they are not at 0.10 anymore...

    At some point Raoul recommended something like UUP 27 calls @ $0.3. He seemed to click the sell button last month when he backed away from the USD long trade. You seem to be missing that in your list.

    Dec 2020 Euro dollar futures move today +0.19% or 19 basis points @ $25/basis point. Profit $466. Initial Margin = $380/contract (IBrokers). Return = 123%. Please confirm if calculation is correct?.

      Due to recent volatility, initial margin requirement on Dec 2020 is now $608 per contract. $ profit calculation above is accurate ($25 per .01 per contract)
